The Blind One of the South, the Mute One of the North, and Bai Wuxiang: the three great tomb-raiding masters.
A new story has begun. Bai Wuxiang's identity is a mystery, yet he has repeatedly come to Wu Xie and his friends' aid. What is his motive, and what kind of scheme is he pursuing?
Qi Wen, a younger member of the Qi family, grew up with Wu Xie, Xie Yuhua, and Huo Xiuxiu. He used to cause trouble with Wu Xie at the Wu family home and loved bullying him. He was Wu Xie's childhood nightmare, but also a beloved playmate he never forgot.
Now he's back after graduating, and he reunites with Wu Xie at Wushan Residence, just as Old Golden Tooth arrives with a rubbing.
Is Qi Wen an outsider to this game, or has he been caught up in it from the very beginning?
Besides the New Moon Hotel, Beijing has another teahouse. It serves fine tea and gathers intelligence. It knows all the big and little business of the trade, the Nine Families' secret stories, and even more about tombs of every size than anyone could ever tell.
The teahouse's owner has a rule: know, but don't speak; speak, but never tell the whole story. Mood comes before money.
Reader, look closely. This is a spectacular unmasking.
Please forgive any out-of-character moments.
